Comment: although Data
Snow`s 8-piece issue is formally starkly bleak and austere its emotional
impression renders into something remarkably significant and striking. The
project`s thoroughly experimental approach emerges through minimally composed
music predominantly providing hints at classical music, ambient soundscapes,
and minimal music. Indeed, some sonic details are barely within earshot and the
narrative used to meander without blasts or crackles. However, all the
aforementioned stylistic firmaments are contaminated with evil-sounding stances
and visages. Instead of outer space it is rather music composed for the
visualization of abandoned junkyards and nuclear test territories foreboding an
impending catastrophe coming out of there. Ironically, it is fairly beatific
and arching composition at its core. Less is more...imaginative.
